Participatory Event: You and I, You and Me. @ Sapieha Palace

CAC and Radio Vilnius are inviting to a one-day event exploring the environment through electricity. The event will take us to the future scenario, where humans, computing machines, and various hybrids share the space they inhabit. Senses are altered, and some have inextricable linkage to computing devices. In this narrative humans take responsibility to reshape social ties to avoid being controlled by corporations and machines.

Artists Mindaugas Gapševičius and Maria Safronova Wahlström a new art project “You and I, You and Me” raise questions about the perception of the environment through electricity. During the participatory event, the audience will be invited to explore the environment by wearing jewellery, shoes, and headwear with integrated electronic interfaces.
Throughout the evening Vilnius Radio will invite to mingle in the whithering Sapieha Palace surroundings with Pijus Džiugas Meižis, Kudirka ir Simas Okas.
Radio Vilnius is the new independent community radio, filled with fresh shows, sounds and hosts. The station is quickly becoming the physical and virtual meeting point not only for artists, aspiring musicians or experienced producers but Vilnius residents and visitors alike.
